EDI615, 7,5 credits, G2 (First Cycle)
Valid for: 2012/13
Decided by: Education Board 4
Date of Decision: 2012-02-14
General Information
Compulsory for: IDA2
Language of instruction: The course will be given in Swedish
Aim
The aim of the course is to give fundamental knowledge of the
electronic components, that a computer will use to communicate with
the environments ( interfacing). The aim is also to ratify the
professional way for an engineer to work and to ratify the
ability to, from given conditions, analyse and construct a system
for measurement and steering.
Learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must
- be able to explain the function of basic electronic components,
that is used in interfacing techniques
- be able to explain the principles for how to adapt
non-electrical quantities to a computer.
Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must
- be able to dimension and construct simple electronic circuits
of the computers interface
- be able to from given conditions, construct a system for
measurement and steering
- be able to analyse an electro-mechanical system and then
dimension a convenient bus-system, including sensors and
controlers
- be able to show a solution of a interface problem in a
technical report
- be able to from given conditions understand and evaluate the
information given in manuals and technical documention of different
circuits, that are used in interfacing techniques.
Contents
- Fundamental electronic components: transistor, diode, tyristor,
diac, triac, relay, opt-components, opamp, ADC, DAC
- Amplifiers: small signal amplifiers and power amplifiers
